SEPTEMBER 18 Wednesday Arthur suddenly bound to action by having glasses etc. fall off the buffet stove, so measured for pipe, went to Schlingy's for boxes to make a closet. We to Huntington got pipe, oil cloth, a clothes horse for screen. Al in for finger wrapped, helped move stove. We got pipe all together & the frame job done. A built corner cubbard. I hemmed up black window curtains & put them up. Arthur said probably he was doing it because a cold snap was coming & be gosh the C.S. came at 5 p.m. It was 40. We happily built a wood fire in the stove - it looked very merry & felt very nice. [[end page]] [[start page]] Thursday. SEPTEMBER 19 Both rather tired. I only got place straightened up in P.M. and at 1 we both went down to Raleighs. Arthur and Hank went snapper fishing. Holly and I, Holly especially had a "talkie." Gents returned with 88 snappers. We back to P.O. & left a lot for H. Roselles & Johnny George, then A to A. Roselles, with more. We had some for supper - and to bed. I borrowed Reminiscences - by [[strikethrough]] Dostoy Dostoevsky [[/strikethrough]] Dostoevsky's wife, and [[strikethrough]] a [[/strikethrough]] archy and mahitabel by Don Marquis. read a little in each, started reading Archie & Mahatibel to A. but neither of us in the mood for it so to bed. Letters from Mrs. Dove and Paul very nice ones, urging us to come, but next Friday now.
